Gtk-Perl segmentation fault.

[Chris Williams <kermit6306 yahoo com>]

Something is wrong with my Gtk-Perl installation. The
system is Red Hat 7.3. I installed Gtk-Perl from:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/Gtk-Perl-0.7008-3.i386.rpm
 (there are no 7.3 RPM's) after building from source:
http://www.gtkperl.org/Gtk-Perl-0.7008.tar.gz failed.
Here  is the error from the build:

Now this is interesting. Here is some code that runs
file on my system:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# create a GTK+ window

use Gtk;
init Gtk;

my $win = new Gtk::Window( "toplevel");
$win->set_border_width(5);
$win->set_usize(100,100);
$win->show;

main Gtk;

And this is code that causes a segmentation fault:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Gtk;
use Gtk::Gdk::ImlibImage;
use Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf;
init Gtk;

my $EVENT="";
$EVENT=Gtk::Gdk->event_new();
$EVENT->{'send_event'}=1;
$EVENT->{'button'}=3;
$EVENT->{'type'}="client-event";
$EVENT->{'message_type'}=Gtk::Gdk::Atom->intern("_GTK_READ_RCFILES",
0);
$EVENT->{'data_format'}=8;
$EVENT->{'data'}=0;
$EVENT->{'window'}=undef;

sub gtkrc_refresh {
    Gtk::Gdk->event_send_clientmessage_toall ($EVENT);
}

sub kde_refresh {
    system("kderefresh");
}
gtkrc_refresh();

print "ok\n";

OK, I need help! Please tell me if you need any more
information about my system. I don't know much about
debugging software and I gave very basic information.
I really want Gtk-Perl to work. Anyone out there in
GtkPerl-land listening?

Thanks for reading,
Chris
